I recently found out that my newest addition to the family, Mr. James De CoCo has heartworm. He did not have heartworm when we picked him up in Feb 22, 2022. I took him and some of my other dogs to get heartworm checked (because they will not give you Revolution for ticks/Mosqitoes with out one) on March 14th. All my other dogs I brought got a heartworm test. Jimmy De CoCo did not. I was under the impression ALL my dogs were getting heartworm tested.
Mind you. For over 13 years, NONE of my dogs were infected with heartworm. NONE OF THEM!! Until I brought my newest rescue, James De CoCo. The cutest, littlest guy you would fall in love with.
Why you ask? Sunrise Veterinary Services DENIED our purchases with their "store" over 4 times. This had been a recurrent problem of being denied medications to keep my dogs and cat safe. Over and over and over again, we were denied these medications to keep my pets safe. It was never on our end. It was Sunrise Veterinary Services. This is where the problem was. We even have the denials via email. Once again, they dropped the ball to as to the welfare of our loved family members. This time, it was very serious.
Prior to my dogs appointments, I sent an email to Sunrise Veterinary Services stating "this is to keep them safe from ticks and heartworm".. this was my full reason for bringing them in. And still, the little guy got heartworm because he was denied life saving heartworm medications by Sunrise Veterinary Services.
When we left Sunrise Veterinary Services for good (thank God), we went to Switzers. Now, we have had to re-due ALL tests and examinations because this is how Switzers does business AND it is how we found out Jimmy De CoCo had heartworm. THEY ACTUALLY TESTED HIM FOR IT... Sunrise Veterinary Services had not!!
Had we not gone to Switzers, the heartworm would have continued growing, thus becoming more of a danger to the little guy. This would have led to a long and painful death. read more
